The updated Elcomsoft Cloud Explorer 2.31 offers enhanced support for extracting Google Dashboard data, a Google service for storing and managing personal data collected by Google Inc about its users. In this release, Elcomsoft Cloud Explorer significantly expands the number of categories obtained from Google Dashboard, extracting significantly more information than ever before. The newly added Dashboard categories include Maps, Calendar, Disk, Alerts, Analytics, Books, Groups, News, Package tracking, Payments, Photos, Google Play Music, Google Play, Tasks, Blogger, AdSense, Brand Accounts, FeedBurner, Search, and Keep.

Google Dashboard contains aggregated statistical data on the user’s activities. As a result, Dashboard data can be downloaded very quickly, literally in a matter of seconds. Downloading and analyzing Dashboard data prior to acquiring the entire set of Google-collected information allows saving time and starting the investigation faster.

About Google Dashboard

Google Dashboard is a Google service allowing users to have a summary view of their Android devices and their usage history, searches, location history, Web history, Google Play apps, YouTube and much more. The service summarizes data for each Google product the user uses.

While Google allows signed-in users downloading the data it keeps in the Dashboard, some categories are missing from the provided set of data. Some of these categories include Connected Apps and Device Activity. By using Elcomsoft Cloud Explorer, experts can quickly and easily obtain the entire set of data available in Google Dashboard including categories that are generally not provided by Google during the takeout process.
